Check this website: www.tawascrystal.com

Tawas is potassium alum and is widely used in Asia as a deodorant and anti-perspirant. Frequent use also whitens armpits (and groins too!). They come in powder form or in a smooth solid stone you can just rub on after a shower/bath and before drying. Been using it for decades.

Well I think that the best result for not getting those nasty yellow marks on shirts is LEMON! Use lemon after you shower for about a week. It will stop the yellow marks and you wont stink. Mexican people used it. I used to stain my white shirts ,and my friend told me about the lemon. I though she was just kidding, but I tried it and it worked. After a week, you can start using your deodorant. Hope this works for you :)

Dove is the best deodorant. I did an experiment on it, and out of lady speed, degree and dove, it won.

All four of us in our family use a different antiperspirant and have the same crusty yellow underarm stains on all clothes. On another site, someone mentioned turpentine as a solution. That is close , as it takes a petroleum distillate to dissolve the greasy stains. I use Goof off! It is available in liquid or spray and can be found at Home Depot in the paint department. I spray the stain and rub real well. Do this outside because of fumes. Leave outside overnight (in the garage is ok), then wash. It may take 2 treatments, and I wouldn't use it on silk.

Aluminum is the active ingredient in most anti-perspirants and is responsible for the stains. If you switch to a strictly deodorant product you won't have the same problem. Usually the only aluminum-free products out there are of the all-natural variety; some of them don't work well and can have scents that are worse than BO, but I really Tom's of Maine deodorant stick in the Lemongrass scent. No stains or stinkiness so far!

I also use a Deodorant Crystal it works and doesn't stain. It is a little more exp. but lasts a long time, over a year. It also does not include aluminums which is suppose to be harmful.

I bought the clear thinking that it wouldn't cake up etc. Well it won't cake up, it will just do something else. Today I noticed that on a baby blue shirt, there were literally white spots on anywhere the deodorant touched. Almost like I bleached it. That was the WORST thing ever. If anyone can offer any tips, I would greatly appreciate them.

Addidas 24hr Control Absorbent-Deo for women.
It causes a bit of irritation though. I usually use it a day or two days shavings .

I don't recommend Deoderants. They do stop the odor, but you still sweat, and the sweat mixed in with whatever you are using now is whats staining your clothes. You should definitly try to use a clear gel type antipersperant/deoderant. It would solve your problem :)

I'm looking for a deodorant that is not expensive or homemade that kills odors and leaves less yellowish stains on blouses and shirts.

Thank you,
Lina

I am not sure if you can get this product where you live, but here in the UK I have found the ABSOLUTE best deodorant I have ever used is 'VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE Anti-Perspirant Deodorant ROLL ON. I give it 10/10 and it saw me through two years of hot flashes (My underarms were the only place that was dry then!) I recommend this to everybody. I hope you can get it where you are. Best wishes to you. (05/16/2005)

Mitchum, clear gel, anti-perspirant and deodorant works well for me. (05/16/2005)

RE: Deodorant That Won't Stain Clothing

My husband used to get bad deodorant stains on his shirts and undershirts. I asked him to wait 5 minutes to let it dry before putting them on, and no stains.

To remove stains on washable shirts and blouses, soak overnight (or longer) in a solution of 1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent and 1 gallon lukewarm water mixed well. Then wash as usual. This gets out most stains. (05/16/2005)

RE: Deodorant That Won't Stain Clothing

Maybe just changing your brand of deodorant will do it. Not all will stain clothes. (05/16/2005)

Suave roll-on is what I use and I love it, I've never noticed any staining whatsoever. It's not expensive either. (05/16/2005)

RE: Deodorant That Won't Stain Clothing

Crystal Stick Body deoeorant is great. It is 100% Natural Mineral Salts. Hypoallergenic, eliminates odor, last over one year. It is for men and women. Unscented, non-staining and can be used on underarms or feet. It is the only one I use now after trying dozens in the past. Buy it at Rite Aide drug stores or possibly the internet. Check it out.

I really like Dove deodorant. It smells great with many different scents. It works great. I've never had any problem with under arm stains. GOD Bless. (05/16/2005)

Trader Joes brand doesn't stain but doesn't work that well. (05/29/2005)

Arrid Extra Dry antiperspirant Deodorant CREAM. It comes in a short round white jar and it advertises that it will not stain. I tried and it and it decreased the amount of new stains, but didn't eliminate them all together. Other friends swear by it though. Got it at Wegman's. (04/24/2006)

RE: Deodorant That Won't Stain Clothing

Dermalogica's deodorant does not build up and does not stain. It is not an antiperspirant - but that's a small price to pay compared to ruining clothing with other brands like Mitchum or other antiperspirant formulas. The crystal is good too but eventually was too strong for the skin and caused irritation and a rash after a few months. (06/28/2006)

Gillete seems to work best for men. (12/25/2006)

Guys, shave your armpits!

I've had the same problem happen with many of my tan and brown shirts staining to orange under the arms. I'll certainly be trying the recommendations on this page. One thing I do, as a guy, which helps is to shave my underarm hair. Anti-persperants only work if they have direct contact with the skin. Hair just gets in the way. By doing so, I'm able to apply less than I would otherwise. (04/02/2007)
